Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

Hmmm 🤔. My stall has nothing to do with having to think of something. I feel I’ve been blessed by family members in a number of ways.

The first thing that comes to mind though, is when my daughter and son-in-law invited me into their home to live when I first got clean from that evil drug. I lived with them for almost six (6) years. I was very grateful. I was really down low during that time. I was pretty much homeless…. Well, only when I stayed at the battered women’s shelter. Unfortunately I got caught with Maryjane while I was staying there and was told to pack my bags and leave.

Funny thing is I didn’t even have that much to pack up by the end of my stay. Most of my stuff had been stollen while I was away one day. I mean, the girl even took my big suitcase to fit all my stuff in.

The saddest part about it was staff sat in the bedroom with her while she packed and literally watched her walk away with all I owned. (She was asked to leave too. Can’t recall why).

But that’s a different story outside of the gratitude I had and have for my family.

I can think of several things I’ve been grateful for, and grateful for quite some time. I’m grateful for my friends, my job, my new studio, my cat, my caring employers, and but of course God should be #1 on the list. Now He has done plenty for me. And still does. My God is a great, great God.

Amen.
